Thanks for letting me know what behaviour to expect! so, Hmmmm...
If this is what Qjackctl is *s'posed* to do, then I'm pretty sure
I've found a bug.
After some testing to check it out...
It seems like a bit of a special case specific bug. If I position the
main 'qjackctl' window with *either* the 'X' *or* the 'Y' coordinate
in the '0' position and then quit, then the next time I start 'Qjackctl'
*both* 'X' *and* 'Y' are in the '0' position.
I like my 'Qjackctl' in the upper right hand corner. This bug causes
it to appear on the next startup in the 0:0 position in the upper left
hand corner. Any other position on the screen seems to work according
to the expected behaviour you've outlined above.
I pulled down the source and rummaged around, but I don't know UI
coding well enough to know really what to look for.
Still, I hope this information gives you an idea where to look for the
buug. :-)
I have a workaround for now. I just position the main 'Qjackctl'
window in the upper right hand corner, but just a pixel or two short
of the top. That seems to do it for me.

Right. 'QAMix' comes in where I want it. 'Timemachine' seems to have
its own rules. I haven't tried modifying my other app commands yet.
Peace,
